Project Runway Episode 10 Recap: Par for the Kors
I've been reading your comments (which, by the way, I so appreciate even if I don't reply to each one), and many of you have been saying that you've given up on the show, or don't even watch anymore and just read the recaps. I want to climb up on my little soapbox for a minute before I start this recap and implore you to heed the wise words of everyone's favorite power balladeers, Journey. DON'T STOP BELIEVIN' in Project Runway.
Look, I know this season has been weird. The judging has been uneven and the aufings have often been unfair. The challenges have been mostly tame and the designers are, for the most part, even-tempered and good-natured--it says something that the biggest villain of the season does nothing worse than bitch to the camera in private. With the move to a new city and a new network, the show is undoubtedly slumping in its sixth outing, and it didn't help that we had to wait a whole year to watch it, which probably got our expectations even higher than usual (see my giddy preview post). But I still love the show (sort of like a best friend you just can't stay mad at--maybe you block her from Gchat for a few days but then you come around) and I still believe that Project Runway is one of the best reality shows on television.
For one thing, there's no denying that the contestants are actually incredibly talented, regardless of whether their personalities make for good TV. They're not eating leeches or Jello wrestling for cash (although, hmmm, Lifetime, I'm getting some great ideas for future challenges); they're creating complete, impeccably tailored and often mind-bogglingly intricate outfits in a matter of hours.
I also love that we as viewers can judge the designers' work from our couches--all we need is a set of eyes. I don't watch Top Chef (I know I should), but I wonder how it can be satisfying to watch when viewers can't taste a goddamn thing.
Finally, Tim, Heidi, Michael, and Nina are as compelling a cast of judges and mentors as I have ever seen, each with relevant professional experience, a healthy sense of humor and a unique and very television-friendly persona. If we can get them all together again (none of this Fashion Week bullshit--rent Michael and Nina a nice bungalow by the beach and feed them martinis and do not even let them near the airport) I think some sense of normalcy will be restored.
That all said, I think Lifetime knows that this season is losing viewers, and Tom and Lorenzo over at Project Rungay have it on good authority that producers are aware of the backlash and are looking to fans for advice. Who knows, maybe they even read this. (By the way, if any of the designers, or Heidi or Michael or Nina or--OMG--Tim read these recaps, please know that I come from a place of love. I know that calling someone neon orange or comparing a dress to the pelt of Grimace from McDonald's does not sound like love, but it is.) Lifetime, I believe in you! You're just a small town girl livin' in a lonely world (channel 62??) and you took a midnight train going somewhere specific--LA--but all is not lost! Something about streetlight people. Shadows searching in the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
Where was I? Oh, yes, the actual recap. Previously on: Ironically, no one really sparkled in a Bob Mackie-inspired challenge, and despite creating sequined booty shorts and an ill-fitting bustier, Christopher was granted a stay of execution while Shirin and Bitchface were sent packing.
Project Runway: 90210 begins this week with a shot of palm trees swaying in the California breeze. In the apartments, Carol Hannah says that she's sad to see Shirin leave. Gordana, continuing her complete mental breakdown from last week, is wearing what looks to be a preteen sundress over her regular clothes. In the boys' bunker, Nic carefully irons his hair while Chris marvels over the fact that he's one of the top seven designers left in the competition. Yeah, buddy, join the club--we're all scratching our heads.
On the runway at FIDM, Heidi tells the designers that Tim will be taking them on a trip to Rodeo Drive, and for a fleeting moment I hope for a Pretty Woman challenge in which the designers try on clothes and get scoffed at by bitches in giant shoulder pads, after which they make polo outfits for hookers. The guest judge would be a drunk Jason Alexander! But alas, this is not to be. They are apparently going to visit a designer whose work is known around the world.
Logan interviews that going to Rodeo Drive means designing something higher-end. What Logan, are feathered Cher costumes not fancy enough for you? She wore that to the Oscars. Chris tells us that he's worked at mall stores, and they didn't have YSL. I bet they had The Limited, though. Whatever happened to that store?
The designers arrive at Michael Kors' LA flagship, where Tim and MK await them. I am not going to even mention the color of a certain citrus fruit, but I will say that someone looks like they've had some Botox--for the entirety of this scene the only thing that moves is his jaw, as if Tim is actually a ventriloquist and has his hand stuffed up ... nevermind.
All around the store are photos of exotic vacation locales, and Michael explains that his aesthetic is inspired by jet-set travel. The challenge will be for each designer to choose a location and create a look that both represents their style and embraces the style of that place. Here's the actual list of places, with my suggestions for more interesting choices in parentheses:
Palm Beach (Papa New Guinea)
Greece (Colonial Williamsburg)
Aspen (Phnom Penh)
St. Tropez (Sarajevo)
New York (New Delhi)
Santa Fe (Santa's workshop, a.k.a.The North Pole)
Hollywood (Dollywood a.k.a. Pigeon Forge, TN)
Carol Hannah won the previous challenge, so she gets first pick and goes with Palm Beach. Tim busts out the velvet bag and proceeds to draw names. Nic gets picked first. "New York is too easy for me!" he declares, before choosing Greece. Irina picks Aspen, where it is as cold as the blood that runs through her veins. Althea goes next and picks St. Tropez, and deep in the recesses of my brain, a tiny Burt Bacharach begins to sing "Do You Know the Way To San Jose?" even though that is totally not the same place. Also, Althea interviews that St. Tropez has yachts and parties but is also an old fishing town, and how amazing would it be if she made a fierce version of the Gorton's fisherman's rain slicker? Do they have wellies on the Macy's accessories wall? Anyway. Gordana chooses New York, Chris picks Santa Fe, and Logan, who is last, is left with Hollywood.
At Mood, the designers have $150. Gordana spends almost all of her money buying jeweled pieces for a necklace that will reflect a strong, independent Park Avenue woman. Irina is all about the fur. She needs to put together a winter look, which she thinks is impossible given the budget. Let's hope so (cough--bitch!--cough).
Back at FIDM, Logan says that he's going for a bohemian look with tight, skinny jeans and a comfy top. Irina is making pants, a cowl neck sweater and a fur vest. Nic says he is designing for a fabulous tomboy (Watts from Some Kind of Wonderful?). Carol Hannah, who is crafting a long, flowy dress, wishes she had more fabric. Gordana, who is awesome, is cracking up over her own jokes, so of course Irina interviews that people are cracking jokes instead of working. You know who she reminds me of? That mean orphan from Annie who's always threatening to punch people.
Gordana notes that when under pressure, some people crumble and some prevail. Nic is nervous because Michael Kors looks at every last detail, so everything has to be perfect (what's he going to do, raise his eyebrows? He can't!). Chris says that he's been on top many times (of the competition, people. Gawd.) but then has been in the bottom for three weeks. He needs to show sophisticated, high style. I will not make the Major Duh joke from last week again, even though I was super proud of it, so I'll just say that Chris' observation is abundantly obvious. He needs a phenomenal look this week to win back my affections.
Tim checks in. He loves the necklace Gordana has made, but she hasn't even started on the dress, which worries him. Chris shows Tim a sky blue top and baby shit brown skirt that do not look promising and says that he's putting a lot of effort into a belt. Tim warns him that it can't all be about the belt, and advises him to avoid cliches (like making a New Mexico-inspired dress that is quite literally the color of mountains and sky--oops, too late!). Irina interviews that she's surprised that Chris is still here, and that his dress looks Amish. Carol Hannah is worried that her dress will end up looking like it could be bought anywhere, and Tim agrees. He tells Irina--who has actually made kind of an amazing three-piece outfit--to watch proportions. Nic tells the camera that Irina's outfit is borderline costume. ("Wait, isn't his whole thing costume?" my friend Kerry notes. Yes, Nic. Men who flat-iron their hair should not hurl insults.)
The models arrive, and Gordana kind of freaks out because she literally has no dress to even fit on her model. The jeans Logan made don't fit on his model, so he'll have to take them out. I can't tell if this is his fault (doesn't he have her measurements?) or if the model just put on a few pounds. Maybe they're getting Arby's care packages from the Roastburger Queen! (What, I haven't brought that up in forever.) Irina bitches that the creativity and craftsmanship shown by her fellow contestants hasn't increased, and Carol Hannah interviews that Irina is not here to make friends. Nic is still working in an all-white palette, but says he doesn't want to evoke a Grecian goddess. (Doesn't he have Greece?) Chris decides that his dress is "too Little House on the Prairie" and lops off twenty inches.
Back at the house that night, Nic thinks he's in trouble. The designers gather around for some wine and bonding--Irina included!--and it's kind of cute. Kerry notes that Althea needs to get her roots done.
The next day in the workroom, Nic says to everyone, "You all remember my mental breakdown last night," and COME ON, editors, really? Why didn't we see this? Tim comes in and does his spiel--"Garnier, L'Oreal, Macy's, are all of you sponsors fucking happy now? Did I mention the Brother sewing machines?"--and I catch a glimpse of Chris' dress and OH GOD IT IS HORRIBLE. Logan says that Nic went off into his own world. He says he doesn't see Greece in Nic's outfit, but that "someone could wear it in Greece." Ha! Logan also says that he went for a "young Hollywood" look, and I am sad to imagine the Old Hollywood look that might have been--something saucy for Cloris Leachman, perhaps? Nic interviews that there no more weaklings in the bunch, and that it's do or die.
It's runway time. Heidi is decked out in leatha, which reminds me that my hubby Jeff saw Stella on the street awhile ago. I miss her. She had the soul of Sylvester Stallone in the body of what Cher would look like if she had aged naturally. Every time I think of her I think "YO, ADRIAN!" and also about that little girl in Annie Hall who says, "I used to be a heroin addict, and now I'm a methadone addict." Sigh. Anyway, this week Michael and Nina are both in LA at the same time! Oh happy day! The guest judge is Milla Jovovich, who actually has a reputable fashion label, so that's something. The lights dim, and the show begins. Do they know the way to San Jose? La la la la la la la la la.....
In honor of Bitchface this week, I have Photoshopped her head onto all of the models. I hope this does not break any laws.
ALTHEA/ST.TROPEZ
Bitchface says: "If I have to wait another second for this motherfucking yacht I will shit in my golden shorts. Somebody get me a Xanax!"
But seriously, Althea does great work. It's just so boring to root for her.
CAROL HANNAH/PALM BEACH
Bitchface says: "It's fucking hot up in here. Where am I, Brazil? I passed out on the jet during my foot massage. Someone fan me."
This is very pretty. It does look like I could probably find a near-exact replica at Bloomingdale's, but Carol Hannah's braiding (the back is especially artistic) takes it up a notch, Emeril-style.
CHRIS/SANTA FE
Bitchface says: "Oh HELL no. Why am I dressed like fucking Liesel from The Sound of Music trolling for ass at Oktoberfest? I'm not sixteen going on old German hooker, OK?"
I agree with Bitchface.
GORDANA/NYC
Bitchface says: "I am fucking fabulous. This isn't even a scarf, it's just something I swat at the hoi polloi when they get too close. Is my driver outside? I'm late for my weekly interaction with my children."
I'm not loving the baseball seam-like detailing on the dress, but it does come off as elegant. Still, as much as I love her I think Gordana is one of the weaker designers left.
IRINA/ASPEN
Bitchface says: "What do you mean 'Do I ski?' Do these shoes look like skis to you? Honey, the only skiing I do is on my coffee table. Now light me a fire, it's fucking cold."
Irina's pleasantness obviously has an inverse relationship to her design talent. This actually looks super chic AND cozy, and while I think the belt makes it a little more precious than I'd like, I am in awe of the sweater. Again, you can't see the back, but there's a cut-out. Functional? No. Gorgeous (and drafty)? Yes.
LOGAN/HOLLYWOOD
Bitchface says: "Take this vest and burn it. And why are these belts around my shoulders? Suspenders? Do I look like Gordon Gekko to you? Get them off of me and then get me on a sailboat so I look like I fit in for Christ's sake."
This outfit is perfectly made, but it confuses me. I think it's the top--it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the outfit. If it were a different color and didn't have the weird striped collar I think I'd like this a lot more. Also the suspenders are questionable.
NIC/GREECE
Bitchface says: "Okay, I'm not even going to look down, I just want you to tell me: Am I in fact wearing sensible office pants? Like the kind working people wear? Oh my God. If only my entire upper body weren't bandaged I could do something about it."
Aside from the fact that this outfit has nothing to do with Greece, it's really unflattering on the model, and I'm perplexed by the top. Is it a bodysuit? Is it just tucked in? I hate tops that defy architectural explanation.
The designers return to the runway. Althea is safe, and the rest represent the best and the worst. First, the best: Irina, who the judges think did a great job on her cut-out sweater and evoked the spirit of Apsen; Carol Hannah, whose print choice was perfect and whose braiding they covet; and Gordana, whose necklace saved her ass this week. The boys are on the bottom. Milla Jovovich loves Chris' belt but the judges agree that the rest of it sucks. Michael Kors thinks that Nic misheard the challenge as being about Grease the movie, which still doesn't make any sense since the bland office wear that Nic created has no place in The Pink Ladies. Heidi thinks that Logan's outfit just looks like "basic clothes," which I guess is kind of what he was going for but not in a bad way, which is how it ended up. Milla awesomely says that if the show was called Project I Didn't Mind It, that the outfit would pass. I think a better joke would have been Project Blandway, but sadly I do not have the right forum (say, the stage at FIDM) to share this with the world.
Carol Hannah is the first one sent safely backstage. The winner of this challenge is...Irina, which I guess is deserved. Gordana is in, as is Logan, which leaves Nic and Chris in the bottom two. And oh, look, I'm getting flashbacks to last week! Chris has now been in the bottom for four weeks. When Mitchell got kicked off, didn't Heidi says something like, "Three strikes, you're out?" Nic's outfit is boring and unflattering, sure, but LOOK AT CHRIS' DRESS. It looks like the costume for a children's choir production of "The Lonely Goatherd." The only thing missing is the clogs! And don't forget that this is on the heels of the sequined booty shorts, the Red Cross relief blanket cocktail dress, and the disco pumpkin/Cabbage Patch special. I do like Christopher and I think he's a talented designer. But he has much less professional experience than the rest of them. He's self-taught. He buys fabric at Wal-Mart. He is just not quite up to par among this kind of competition.
And yet... he's IN.
AGAIN.
WTF?
If there is a reason the judges are keeping him around, I wish they would articulate it, because as it stands it feels like something is being put over on the audience. In any other season, and even in this season (see also: Mitchell), the judges base their aufings not only on the outcome of that specific challenge but also on past performance. There is no precedent for this kind of extended stay of execution for someone who clearly has issues of taste. And the fact that Chris was chosen over Shirin and Nicolas, two designers who have shown more talent, range and consistency, just doesn't make sense.
The only conclusion I can draw is that the producers like Chris and they like his story, so they want him to win. He doesn't have fancy training or expensive tastes; he's worked his way to the national stage and charmed people despite his lack of experience and spotty record. He is the Sarah Palin of Project Runway.
Listen, Lifetime. I appreciate the need for reality TV show winners to be liked by the audience, but Project Runway is a great show because, as I mentioned at the start of this post, the contestants are incredibly talented. Don't let that slide. I don't want to have to block you from my Gchat, okay?
Hugs, Una

Una,
I love reading your blogs, but I don't know if I can stick with this show. Where oh where is my old friend, the real Project Runway? I don't recognize this pale imitation. I am trying to be patient, but with all of the changes and Michael and Nina being m.i.a. for most of this season, it's been difficult.
I find it unbelievable that the likes of Chris, Logan and Nicolas stayed on longer than Epperson or even Ra'mon and especially, Shirin. Chris may have started strong, but he has lost his way. He is struggling against designers who have much better training and experience. They risk making a mockery of the show when someone is allowed to be in the bottom two for FOUR weeks in a row.
I don't even have a favorite this season. It's obvious that the women have the talent this time around. I actually did not like Irina's 80's style get-up for Aspen. Cowl neck sweaters were fun, but that was some time ago. This was a challenge that gave the designers a lot of creative freedom, yet the results were mediocre. I would have chosen Carol Hannah's Palm Beach print with the braided detail on the bodice. Who cares if Uli did prints a few seasons ago?
If Irina wins, that will be a disappointment. She has talent but it beyond obnoxious. I just hope the show can rebound and be its old self. I miss you, Project Runway!
Two things, okay 3 things:
1. Love, love, LOVE! your blog! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
2. I'm totally with you on the "Top Chef" thing. I cannot watch cooking shows, and think cooking competitions especially stupid. If I can't, as an audience member, subjectively judge the item being presented, it's just boring and late-night munchy-inspiring, which is not good for anyone.
3. I think Christopher is providing some producer sexual favors. It's the only reason I can tell for him still being on the show. I'm not giving up on my beloved PR, but it sure is interesting this season!
Thanks, AO! I will probably cave and watch Top Chef eventually, if only to soothe my PR withdrawal once the season ends. And if Christopher isn't in the top two this week, he had best be packing his bags. No more excuses!
Logan and Christoper and Nick seemed to hang on and on like unpopular uncles. It has been clear for some time that the 5 women (Shirin included) were the class of the field. No one blew the locks off the doors this week either, a GarAnimals-color-schemed Winter outfit from Irina worn with SANDALS?!. Carol-Hannah and Althea were both good..... we're looking for great. You could almost level the same "clothes" insult they threw at Logan at these outfits. Giordana....back at work with a dress that BORROWS from the dress she tried to make last week AND the wedding dress makeover that SHIRIN MADE a few weeks back. Who will beat Irina......no one looks likely....which is...BORING both TV-wise and design-wise.
I hope "Bit.chfa.ce says" becomes a regular feature of your recaps. She's awesome!
i sure donʻt. it is increasingly cruel, ruined the fashion show for me and the real models lost out on their deserved ʻface timeʻ. ms. lamarche is such a talented writer, but this continued attack has gone on long enough.... i know this will sound stupid and preachy, and i apologize in advance, but she is a real person, with real friends and a real family. if you wouldnʻt say it to her ʻfaceʻ then......
Thoughfully Yours,
I truly am sorry to have offended you, and anyone else who agrees with you. I just thought that the unintentional scowl she always makes on the runway was funny, and didn't mean to imply that she herself was a bitch or a bad model. I think she's gorgeous; it was just the expression on her face that I was targeting. However I can see how that might be hurtful. The joke has run its course.
I do see your point about taking away from the other models' face time, and others have mentioned that they didn't like the Photoshopping, so I certainly won't be doing that again.
I agree! Hysterical!!!!
Maybe could be a blogette all on its own.
Logan should have been the one sent home, though his look was interesting too. I like the fact that he tried to create a sort of street look, almost too casual for a design context - maybe had the fit of the pants been different the suspenders would have come off better and then maybe his look would have hovered nicely on the edge between bland and interesting, like his personality does, on a good day. Why is he still around? It's got to be so that Carol Hannah has someone to make raccoon eyes to...
Chris' piece - his main mistake was shortening it too much. It's amazing to see how much classisism comes into attitudes about PR contestants. When 'taste' is criticized, sometimes it's really class that is being criticized. Chris actually has some very good ideas that he doesn't quite bring into realization and I think the judges see that. For example, it's quite obvious that Chris was thinking about Georgia O'Keefe this week, and I think that maybe he wanted to blend the flow of her images with the no-nonsense aspect of her personality, and ended up with something that didn't come off, which he then made worse by hacking off way too much from the bottom. The kid has ideas and that is why he is still around. In a world dominated by Autopilot Irina, ideas are a good thing.
As for Nicholas, I think he actually made one of his better pieces. It was a pant suit that was almost a cat suit, with an interesting bondage element, almost a straightjacket reference, on top. It was puzzling, in an EmmaPeelHasBeenCaptured good way.
The judges and mentors on PR do have a very nice rapport. But I think The Fashion Show is a far better show in almost every way. In fact, I think PR compares to The Fashion Show the way PR's spinoffs in Canada, etc., compare to PR; it comes off as juvenile, silly, forced and weak. The Kors challenge was very annoying, in that it was obviously designed as a promo for Kors. That alone made it pathetic. Also, it was based on an outdated and stereotyped notion of 'jetset lifestyle', which frustrated the designers who have living brains (ie, everyone other than Irina, who is a wondrous and awe-inspiring fashion machine on autopilot).
I thought the judges had an unusually bad weak. Irina's outfit was typically stylish and well done, and typically boring. If she is going to win every week, they should rename the show Project Rutway. Her work is lovely, but I wouldn't watch the show to see it.
Carol Hannah? Her dress too was lovely, but - HELLO - does anyone around here remember Uli? Carol Hannah, that was practically a knock-off!
Now Gordana came up with something very special. Yes, the dress part could have been styled better, but damn, that necklace was a KNOCKOUT! Gordana wins by knockout!!
Funniest recap ever--omg!
The captions under the Bitchface outfits were making me laugh out loud and I really needed that right now--thank you so much, Una!!
I love Project Runway and have not missed a single episode since the move to Lifetime.
I'm SO glad Nicolas is gone - his arrogance & snarkiness were just too much! Chris should be the next to go, followed by Logan or Gordana.
HA i love your recap...
Irina is the biggest bitch on the entire show, she always talking crap behind someones back....but damn is she a great designer, she really is the best out of all of them. That aspen outfit she could put in a store today and sell it for 500 dollars...or more. She deserves to win, and shes young a semi-pretty which would help her career, plus everything she does looks like a million bucks.
It should be down to her and carol hannah..althea is really good, but she isnt that creative. the guys this year were crap...but i was surprised that the one black guy with the dredlocks got kicked out, I thought forsure he would be in the top 3...
im glad nic got kicked out, he is just awful, everything he has done has had white in it, its like barbies winter snow queen on ice wardrobe....his taste level was awful!....but I agree chris needs to go bad, They are just stringing him along because they know he has no chance in hell of winning, AND HE CRIES! every episode...wth is wrong with him.
and that belt he made was awful, what was wrong with milla jovovich? did she really think that was cute?...ugh
No, you weren't the only one who noticed. I didn't watch that episode, but I saw the pics that Una posted. I am by no means a fashionista, but when I think of Bob Mackie, two iconic images come to mind: Cher at the Oscars and Carol Burnette in a curtain rod. None of the designers, not even the winner seemed to grasp his style. Very disappointing and also revealing about the lack of depth and passion in this group. I think Irina is the best designer of the bunch, though.
If they were going to jump ship from Bravo, they should have fixed a few of the problems.
I think this week's "inspiration" challenge was the most stupid thing ever. These challenges are really just a contest to see who can come up with the best explanation for their garment.
If you want to improve this show, try doing more challenges with real women, or with real fashion problems. Try making everyone create a work outfit costing less than $25! Sewing (and designing) used to be about looking good on a budget. Right now I need a couple of dressy blouses to wear with a basic pencil skirt and basic black dressy pants. After being inspired by PR, I went to the back reaches of my closet and found an old date dress made of silk-like polyester. Its a soft gold fabric, and the dress is so old that the waistband elastic is all dried up. It has a weird hem but lots of still good fabric (polyester lives forever). I need this blouse for one night only, so I am taking that dress and cutting it up. If they can do it in 24 hours, surely I can fashion something in a couple of weeks (with the help of a modified Simplicity pattern).
As to other challenges - the wedding dress make-over was okay (although it gave unfair advantage to designers who had wedding dresses the size of Rhode Island), but my favorite was the prom dress challenge.
I had no idea the show was even back. Too bad...
I tried to send a message to Project Runway but there is no way on Lifetimes Site - I guess for good reason. All I kept thinking is -who is Chris related to or does he have some dirt on one the judges?Shirin's aufing was unbelievable last week when Chris's Outfit, by all the comments, was horrid! I keep thinking they don't want the Finals to be all women. Sorry - but the guys are incompetent this season. If only Tim were a Judge, Talent would surely win!
Sexist? Really? Um...nice try. So how then do you explain the bouncing of Epperson or Nic, clearly the only two male designers of any talent?
Chris' early designs were BRILLIANT, and he's a natural...no professional schooling/training...
His designs in later weeks have faltered tho, but frankly I think that Logan, altho' cute, is BORING.
Frankly, I think in EVERY season, the best designs come from the most off-beat challenges, this seasons being the newspaper challenge. (And remember the Hershey's challenge from a few seasons ago when Christian did that amazing dress using the little paper cups from Reese's peanut-butter cups?)
Chris - ditto. Logan - spot on! (He is so cute, though!)
Una, I love your recaps! I also appreciate the photos of the creations. I don't think we get a good perspective of the designs on TV. The photos help tremendously. Anyway, I really enjoy PR, but I have to. admit I'm really disappointed in this season's offerings. They seem bland and dull to my eyes. Where is all the innovation and sense of creativity? I hope there are better designers coming up than these. I don't think I've seen anything I really like from them. I keep watching because I keep hoping that THIS week, or NEXT week, I'll be pleasantly surprised. So far, I haven't been.
The stage costume competition was totally unappealing. Were they paying any attention to Mackie's flair for COLOR and DESIGN? Were they paying any attention to anything at all? I thought, "now I'll really see them take out all the stops and do something terrific"! Was I ever wrong! Dull and boring to the Nth degree, UGH! I can't be the only one who noticed.
